Kansas debuted its red jerseys with the new trajan font Saturday, after wearing blue tops in the first three games.

KU is now 5-0 all-time wearing red tops, beating Louisiana Tech and Missouri in 2005, South Florida and Colorado in 2006 and Florida International on Saturday.

¢ Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper suited up for the first time this year, after apparently injuring his right arm in August. However, he did not play.

¢ Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb did not suit up.

¢ Wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe made the first start of his career Saturday, replacing Tertavian Ingram in the first series.

¢ Freshman tight end Bradley Dedeaux made his first career catch in interesting fashion. Quarterback Todd Reesing scrambled left and threw across his body toward Derek Fine. The ball bounced off Fine’s hands, though, and went right to Dedeaux, who was about five yards behind Fine.

¢ In addition to his 368 passing yards, Reesing had 47 rushing yards Saturday. His 415 yards of total offense is fourth most in KU history.

¢ KU’s 615 yards of total offense is the fifth-best performance in school history.

¢ Reesing’s third-quarter interception was his first of the season, after 119 attempts without one.

¢ KU senior Brandon McAnderson had two costly fumbles early in the game, but made up for it by running for 105 yards on 13 carries, including two touchdowns.

¢ Joe Mortensen had 13 tackles, giving him a team-high 36 on the season.

¢ The Kansas-Florida International game originally was scheduled for 2006, but FIU postponed it to play Miami (Fla.). To compensate for backing out of the deal, the Panthers agreed to play the Jayhawks twice in Lawrence – 2007 and 2008.

¢ Representatives of the Fiesta and Insight bowls were in attendance for the second time this season. The Fiesta Bowl takes the Big 12 champion in its January game, while the Insight Bowl picks sixth. Both games are in the Phoenix area.

¢ The Jayhawks did not have a 100-yard receiver for the first time this season. Derek Fine led all receivers with seven catches for 70 yards. Senior Marcus Henry had two catches for 38 yards.

¢ Former KU defensive end Charlton Keith has found a home with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League – and is already making an impact.

Keith, playing defensive end for Hamilton, had two sacks and two fumble recoveries in a 24-20 victory over the Calgary Stampeders, the team of former KU running back Jon Cornish.

Keith had played on the practice squad of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders before going to Canada.

¢ Attendance was estimated at 42,134. It was the lowest turnout of the season so far.

¢ KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self, who had an in-home visit with the country’s No. 1 player, 6-foot-10 Greg Monroe, in Harvey, La., Saturday, made it back in time for the football game.

¢ Temperature at kickoff was 83 degrees under sunny skies, with winds blowing out of the east-southeast at 7 mph. Game time was 3:19.
